Re: [Evolver] Re: OS 2.0 - New Envelope Parameter Mod Destinations

2003-11-26 by Craig Wiper

Hi guys, I finally took my Evolver back out of the box and want to revisit using it. I've decided to try and perform the updates, but I'm having trouble downloading the sysex files for the new 2.0 Evolver software. Can anyone help me out?
I'm using Midi-Ox and everytime I try and load the first PIC file, halfway through the load I get an error message telling me that the port is transmitting data to the device, wait until the data has been transmitted, and then try again.
I have no clue what's going on. I'd hate to screw up my chips.
Can someone give me a detailed step-by-step to make sure I've got ALL setting correct before attempting this proceedure again?
Thanks,
Craig W.

I don't know if this will help you guys or not, but realize that the
value(s) you apply with a modulator (sequencer, LFO, AT, etc.) to
affect one of the new Envelope parameter mod destinations works
OPPOSITE of the actual envelope parameters themselves.

For example, when you want a longer Envelope Attack, you INCREASE the
value of the Attack, right? However, if you apply a POSITIVE value
to Envelope Attack via a modulator, you will DECREASE the Attack time.

That seemed backward to me, but Dave confirmed that was his intent.
It all works fine (at least for me!), just as soon as you realize
what's going on.

these settings for the sequencer set absolute values overriding the

maybe i havent experiemented enough.
